The Swings

by THE SWINGS

supported by

Matt DeMello (himself) An exuberant set from longtime and legendary Nashville DIY trailblazers R. Stevie Moore and Billy Anderson. At their most well-rehearsed and crowd pleasing (especially for '77 top 40 radio), there may not be a better introduction to either discography for the casual/"normie" listener.

Billy Again Lately
by BILLY ANDERSON

supported by 4 fans who also own “The Swings”

Another stellar Billy album and probably his most radical opener ("Karmalarm"). All anchored by a low-fi powerpop "I Want to Hold Your Hand" for the ages, with the honorable RSM on a lead guitar solo in lieu of a third verse. A similar Berlin Bowie-esque treatment of the Elvis wedding classic "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You" sends the track over the moon. Matt DeMello (himself)
